For years, Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group co-founder Guy Laliberté received countless proposals for #virtualreality technologies, but they couldn’t match the magic of his intensely visual and mesmerizing live performances. Now, with a new platform provided by Microsoft, he’s rethinking that. On Tuesday, he appeared at Microsoft’s Ignite digital conference via #holoportation, which uses 3D capture technology to beam a lifelike image of a person into a virtual scene. In the company’s first keynote experience designed entirely for #mixedreality, people attending the conference from living rooms and home offices around the world could experience the show as avatars watching events unfold in a shared #holographic world. #wakeupimagine #vr #ar #ai #innovation #creativity #disruption
